LEICESTER Assistant coach,
Chris Davies says Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho has a lot of
attributes but need to develop himself to be one of the best strikers in the
Premier League.
Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports that the Nigeria international
scored the goals in Leicester’s 2-2 stalemate with League One side Rotherham
United in a pre-season game on Saturday to take his tally to three in two
games.
Davies - who took charge of
City at Rotherham with Brendan Rodgers in Stoke for the friendly clash played
at the same time with City's strongest starting XI, spoke about how impressed
he has been with Iheanacho’s pre-season form.
"(I'm) Very
pleased," said Davies after watching Iheanacho score a brace at the New
York Stadium.
"Kel (Iheanacho) is a
threat. He's got a lot of attribute, (he's) quick, strong, has a good
technique, he's a finisher, and it's difficult.
“He's playing second fiddle
really to one of the Premier League's best striker's in Vards, so he has to be
patient, he has to do his best to develop himself through training.
"He's been doing that.
He's come back hungry and strong, he scored a hat-trick in a pre-season
training game the other day and now he's done that today.
"He scored two, he
could have had more and to be fair the goals he did score, he took them very
well. There are a couple more he could have scored but we need goals and it's
really promising."
